Node Poller Discovery As Onboarding

[LochieP]

Hi,

I was curious if you would know of a potential way to get all of the possible Pollers for a Node as it is created.

Currently, it looks like you solve this by adding a node and then querying it for Pollers, however this requires the Node to have been in for long enough for a Discovery to occur.

Id love to know if you know a way to essentially determine all of the Pollers for a given Node, as it is added, without a User requiring to query the DB for them on a Node that already exists or on the Node itself after it is added / discovered.

my use case for this would be a fresh instance, first node in, want all the pollers ticks (e.g. Routing / CPU Memory / etc) but I am not sure what pollers are actually available for a given node.

Thanks!

P.S. I tried Orion.DiscoveredPollers but that also seemed to only return Pollers that have been explicitly added and not Pollers that are possible for enablement

@LochieP I think I saw someone was using a custom poll_now() method, will try to get back to you once I'll find it but it definitely would be a cool feature to test if node can be assigned to a certain poller.

It comes full circle :) The method you linked to I use just to validate that polling can complete for already added pollers, but it won't discover possible pollers and also doesn't work for validating credentials if there are existing cached credentials. @LochieP posted the question in an issue in my collection repo also, and in one of his comments he outlines his solution, but I haven't implemented it yet.

In essence it is a method utilising the following verbs;

ScheduleListResources
GetScheduledListResourcesStatus
GetListResourcesResult
ImportSelectedListResourcesResult

the key was a solution that can handle waiting for the ListResources job to conclude, gathering the result, and then mutating the 'IsSelected' keys (in this case, i unselect all DiscoveredInterfaces and tick everything else by setting IsSelected to False / True as required) and then passing the entire variable into ImportSelectedListResourcesResult
